ABC canceled its reboot of “Roseanne” in May, following the star’s racist tweet. Now, the show is being revived as “The Conners,” but the character of Roseanne Conner has died, according to co-star John Goodman. Plenty of sitcom characters have died after the death of the actor or actress who played them. But click on for a list of comedy characters who were killed for other, frequently controversial, reasons.

In 2011, when Charlie Sheen was fired over his antics on the set — including threats against executive producer Chuck Lorre — Sheen’s character was killed off, and Ashton Kutcher joined the show in a new role.

Chevy Chase had been very vocal with his displeasure over “Community,” and finally departed the comedy in 2012, while shooting its fourth season. The character of Pierce died shortly after graduating from Greendale Community College.

John Amos was fired from playing the family patriarch on “Good Times” in 1976, after he clashed with producers over the direction of the show. Amos wasn’t happy with the show’s depiction of its family, specifically how Jimmie Walker’s character, J.J., had become a bit of a cartoon. When “Good Times” returned for a fourth season, James Evans had died in a car crash.

Valerie Harper was the star of “Valerie,” but was fired from the show after two seasons over a pay dispute. The show continued without Harper in 1987 as “Valerie’s Family,” and then as “The Hogan Family.”

Soul singer Isaac Hayes quit “South Park,” where he voiced Chef, after expressing concern over the show’s take on Scientology. (Later, it was reported that others in his circle had written his statement and forced him to quit the show.) In the 2006 episode “The Return of Chef,” Chef is said to have been brainwashed, and dies a gruesome death.

McLean Stevenson (right) asked to be released from his contract during the show’s third season after feeling that his character was not front-and-center enough on the show. In the 1975 episode “Abyssinia, Henry,” Lt. Colonel Henry Blake was discharged, but then his plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan.

Jean Hagen played Margaret Williams, opposite Danny Thomas’ Danny Williams, in the classic sitcom “Make Room For Daddy.” But Hagen, not happy with the role, left in 1956 after three seasons — and her character was killed off. The show, retitled “The Danny Thomas Show,” eventually cast Marjorie Lord as Danny’s second wife.

Jean Stapleton played Edith, the long-suffering wife of Carroll O’Connor’s Archie Bunker, throughout the entire run of “All in the Family.” She also joined O’Connor for the show’s continuation, “Archie Bunker’s Place,” in 1979. But after the first season, she asked to be written out of the show, and Edith was said to have died of a stroke when the show returned for Season 2 in 1980.

Rue McClanahan was “Aunt Fran” on the initial NBC run of “Mama’s Family.” But when the show was revived for first-run syndication in 1986, McClanahan and co-star Betty White had both moved on to “Golden Girls.” Aunt Fran was killed off in the reboot’s first episode.

Erinn Hayes played the wife of Kevin James’ character in Season 1 of “Kevin Can Wait.” But in a Season 2 attempt to improve ratings, Kevin was made a widow, and Leah Remini was brought in to recapture some of the duo’s “The King of Queens” magic. It didn’t work.

Voice actress Maggie Roswell left “The Simpsons” in 1999 after a pay dispute, and rather than replace her, the show killed off her key character, Maude Flanders. In the 2000 episode “Alone Again, Natura-Diddily,” Maude was killed by T-shirts from a T-shirt cannon when Homer bent down. Roswell later ironed things out with the show, and has since voiced Maude as a ghost, among other characters.

On his Power 106 morning show, Jay Thomas was once asked what it was like to work on “Cheers.” “It’s brutal. I have to kiss Rhea Perlman,” he said. According to “Cheers” writer Ken Levine, Perlman was listening at the time, and it didn’t go over well. Thomas was soon written out of the show, and in the 1989 episode “Death Takes a Holiday on Ice” it was revealed that his character, Eddie LeBec, was killed in a “freak Zamboni accident.”

In the 1996 series finale of “Roseanne,” it was revealed that Dan (John Goodman) had actually died of a heart attack, and that the final season was all fiction from the mind of Roseanne Conner. Well, guess which character is now still alive, and which one isn’t, in 2018!
